#45:'JIF is a Political Statement,'with guest Maya Coleman - a podcast by Cher Vincent and James T. Green
from 2016-03-16T05:00
This week, Cher and James chat it up with Maya Coleman, Community Manager at Secret Hitler, to discuss gaming as a person of color. In Open Up, we consider the benefits of Slack for personal use. In Open Mic, we debate with Maya on mobile games, Apple Watch, and social media platforms. Lastly, in Open Call: Maya saw a new Disney film, Cher saw a really great concert, and James appreciates physical books.
References made during our conversation:
Maya Coleman, movie composer and Secret Hitler Community Manager
Secret Hitler, an dangerously-fun tabletop game
Crash Bandicoot, a game Cher couldn't handle back in 1998
Black Girl Nerds Podcast, a fantastic podcast about gaming and tech
Tumblr, Maya's favorite site, for very good reason
We got a question for Open Up!:
Audrey asked: Do you use Slack for personal as well as work? And if you do, how do you use it?
Open Mic is back!:
Cher vs Maya: iPhone games vs portable consoles
James vs Maya: Apple Watch
Open Ended vs Maya: Every other social media platform besides Tumblr
You know we couldn't forget about Open Call:
Maya: Zootopia
Cher: Carly Rae Jepsen Live
James: Physical Books
